Abstract
Background: To evaluate the serum ferritin levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction. To inspect normal healthy individuals with non-cardiac chest pain for serum ferritin levels. To distinguish ferritin levels persisting in both the study population. Comparing serum ferritin levels to the probability of developing acute myocardial infarction. To study relevance of serum ferritin level to acute myocardial infarction.Material and Methods: A case controlled study was held by Department of General Medicine, Government General Hospital, Suryapet, Telangana, India from December 2021 to September 2022. The study consisted of male patients with myocardial infarction for determining the association of serum ferritin to acute myocardial infarction.
Results: The statistical analysis data for the evaluation of study details for different diagnostic test between cases and control group and determines significance between them. Comorbidities associated with cases and control shows that evidence of diabetes mellitus. The comparison of ferritin and lipid profile no significance existed. On differentiating ferritin administrated value to that of day 3 shows statistical significance. While comparing ferritin and glycaemic control, correlation prevailed. A mixed results were obtained from performed study that proved insufficient to correlated ferritin with myocardial infarction.
Conclusion: The study contradicted the hypothesis. Neither of the tested iron biomarkers confirmed the iron hypothesis, based on the meta-analysis. These finding suggest that the evidence is not robust enough to support the connection among iron and cardiovascular disease. This discrepancy in results could be due to the study's use of different iron markers. Despite the large amount of data that has been published to far, the importance of iron in CVD is still up for debate.
